لقد جاء مسعودٌ أخو الأزد غدوةً
بداهيةٍ غرّاء باد حجولُها
Indeed, Masʿūd, kinsman of the Azd, came at daybreak
with a conspicuous, white-blazed calamity, its fetlock markings plain to see.
من الشر ظل الناس فيها كأنهم
وقد جاء بالأخبار من لا يحيلها
From its evil, the people remained in its grip as though they—
and one who does not falsify the news has come bearing it.
